Hey everyone. I'm sure many of you are already aware, but I wanted to let you know that

Danielie's father Frank Obelli, passed away on Monday the day after we recorded this episode.

He joined us for a full episode in 2017. It's episode 112. It's a great chat. You can find it in our archives and I'm happy to have gotten to

know him a little bit and my condolences go out to his entire family.

So take a moment and bring the ones you love a little closer today

and you know because you never know how long you got and

just try to be well everybody.

All right here we go.

Fuck pain.

Fuck heartbreak.

I'm still in love with life. From the multicultural headquarters of the future capital of the pre-thinking states of

America known as Los Angeles, this is the Drunken-Daoist Podcast. Tonight, year nine of the Drunken-Daoist begins with a first of its kind, a hybrid a rich and d'Ange chat along with a mini interview

Who said 2020 was going to get any sainer? We'll begin by talking about the insanity of folks who are actually rooting for a civil war to visit hell on earth on us and what that might be like and how folks we thought were like-minded are turning into unrecognizable monsters who thrive on rage.

The last thing this country needs is more self-inflicted misery.

So let's remember, people don't starve in peacetime.

And then we'll take things 180 degrees in the opposite... starve in peace time.

And then we'll take things 180 degrees in the opposite direction and chat with our new

friend Jake Allen, a man who used the time his work forlil offered to create the socially

distant fest, an online showcase for musicians, painters, and artists of many kinds,

giving them a place to put on a show in a world where that just isn't allowed,

a virtual open mic where we can all toss a coin to their witchery.

Year nine is already awesome.
